Tory Burch is one of those designers that I mostly ignored until recently. I'm always excited to see conservative designers branch out into edgier territory. Unfortunately, this Roslyn is really a throwback to her ultra-preppy days, and not a very good one, at that.

There's something compelling about the color combinations used on the Roslyn. Cobalt and lavender meat deep teal and tan stripes. Hmmm. It might work if it just weren't so unbelievably busy. I could really do without the not-so-interesting monogram look on the main material. It's just a little too much.

The Roslyn is a classic shopper with no frills and no additions. I like that aspect of the bag, but am not a fan of the rolled leather handles. They're too short and not well-suited to a bag of this size. Otherwise, I'm a fan of the simple, boxy shape, so if you can handle the dizzying material, this is a bag that might just have your name on it.

$395 is a totally reasonable price for a designer bag that you could take everywhere. If, that is, you wanted to.
